We think this, because we live in states where there are homes built in the 1700s that are a) still standing, b) 100% liveable c) with people actually living in them. Other than modern updates to fixtures, electricity, adding water pumps and other peripherals, the structures themselves have continued to support the people living in them.
We know the value of antique construction. New construction up here isn't special, it's just new.
